Longue queue: rang de « eminent » en français
Rare enough to double-check
eminent is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \emiˈnɛnt\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Éminent.".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for eminent, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is eminent, spelled E-M-I-N-E-N-T.
